Default What Happens To Leftover Seats?

There is one thing stopping me from putting Integra seats in my hatch:

I will purchase two sets of seats, and end up with a top section nobody wants, and a bottom section nobody wants.

So all you people who have done the swap the right way, what do you end up doing with your leftovers?

I have a couple extra seat in the shop that get used frequently. They make comfy chairs when you sit them at a normal chair height.

sadly enough there is a company that makes these makeshift legs that you can attatch to car seats to make chairs out of . . they also make them for skateboards and snowboards to make benches out of

i dont kow exactly how there made for car seats cuz you prolly gotta tell them what seat your using so that they can customize a bolt in set up or something unless they just got some universal set up but i know the skate and snowboard are direct bolt on. .

I assume the rear Eran? Keep them in case you need to part out the seats (if or when you sell your car).

to be dead honest with you, i have no idea of the name, it was just one of those things i ran into on google one day while lookin for cheap prices on racing seats. .


you could also try searchin google, but i'm gonna run a quick search myself and if i come across anything i'll post it up. .
